The support structures we have in place ensure our employee welfare and career development are achieved to the highest standards.

As part of our continued growth, we are seeking experienced and enthusiastic Project Managers with proven delivery experience to join our team and support the successful delivery of some of the UK's most complex and challenging projects and programmes. In this role, you will work closely with our clients, leading projects from inception through to completion and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

You will play a key role in coordinating stakeholders, managing project risks and opportunities, and driving successful outcomes across a diverse portfolio of projects.

  • Champion the application of appropriate programme and project delivery strategies and commercial vehicles to secure successful business outcomes.
  • Ensure appropriate services to the project are coordinated and delivered through technical, engineering, project controls, commercial, and financial support functions.
  • Maintain project records, information, and history accurately and in line with policy.
  • Ensure learning from experience is captured and apply continuous improvement techniques to project delivery.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • Significant track record of successfully delivering projects in line with time, cost, and quality constraints.
  • Ability to operate autonomously, with authority, and skilled in developing and maintaining key relationships.
  • Consultancy focus with a proven history of identifying and delivering client requirements, and the ability to scope wider business opportunities.
  • Expertise in P3M practices, methodologies, and techniques, and their appropriate application to varied environments.
  • Highly skilled in the provision of coaching and mentoring.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
